Cornwall Cricket were one of the first organisations to foster links with South West Sports News via their media officer Michael Weeks.

Those bonds have grown stronger over five summers thanks – in main - to the support of clubs around the county and various individuals including Alex Smeeth (Werrington CC) Sean Hooper (St Austell CC) Paul Berryman (Camborne CC) and Mark Stevens (Bugle CC).

Gloucestershire County Cricket Club is steeped in history – especially given its links with a certain famous cricketing Bristolian William Gilbert Grace and the long-running Cheltenham Cricket Festival.
